Guest guest Posted August 14, 2001 Report Share Posted August 14, 2001 exerpt from an article in the "Health" section of todays LA Times:<br><br>""YogaFit in Hermosa Beach was among the first to bring yoga into the fitness industry, says founder Beth Shaw, training 4,000 instructors since 1994 and now 100 per weekend. Through the company, fitness, health or spa professionals can become a yoga instructor in three days for $299.<br><br>"Fitness professionals are the natural people to spread yoga to the masses," Shaw says, "because they are already familiar with group movement."<br><br>To those who criticize her short-term approach, she says: "Who do they think is building their market? Our style of teaching yoga is more likely to flip the switch of someone new to yoga than a woo-woo-style class with lots of Sanskrit, chanting and difficult poses."<br><br>full article at :<br><a href=http://www.latimes.com/features/health/la-081301yoga.story target=new>http://www.latimes.com/features/health/la-081301yoga.story</a><br><br\ >and now, commentary from ESPW/MP/FBL/Guy/etal:<br>"Woo-woo!!"

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2001 Report Share Posted August 14, 2001 i think this line sums it up. this type of yoga is clearly a fad. it's last year's pilates or tai bo.<br><br>. "In the past people were drawn to yoga for the mind-body-spirit connection; today the motivation is a vigorous workout and a great body."
